In each of the past two years, Robert W. Smith has released a movement from his symphony THE DIVINE COMEDY. Musicians, conductors and audiences can now welcome PARADISO, the third movement from the symphony. Ethereal percussion is the palate with which solo voices paint musical landscapes of what paradise must be. Hints of themes from the other movements emerge to tie together all of the musical elements of this powerful new work. Completely captivating! (duration 4:43) [The two movements already available are THE INFERNO (BD9563) and THE ASCENSION (BD01085)].

Performed by the George Mason University Wind Ensemble,
Anthony Maiello, Conductor
